I feel a lot better. I'm not worrying about Uni right now (I've interrupted it) but it seems like that there's far more to the situation than what it initially appeared to be.

One of the things I really hate in life is when people do irrelevant things, particularly if I am made to do them. For example, a business that is trying to get its foothold in the world shouldn't be focusing on extra features. Instead, it should be looking at its own cashflow and what products and services are viable to offer, and at what price point. If the business isn't able to get off the ground in an appropriate amount of time (bearing in mind businesses that rely on brand familiarity do take a lot longer to set up than others) then it should be looking into alternative services it can provide.

I would put a decent image here, but Weebly's image feature doesn't seem to be working with URLs at the moment. It hasn't for a while, come to think of it. Instead, enjoy this one of a slightly suspicious-looking banana next to some tea. Knowing Weebly, the border I've selected (thin and black) won't even show up, and it'll default to medium and grey! Oh yeah, and trying to put the image on the right-hand side means that the gap between the text and image is only about one pixel, compared to the five-pixel padding on the left-hand-side. If anyone knows how to fix that, send me a message (the form's on the homepage of this site)! Or heck, post a comment. I like comments.

Anyway.

Doing irrelevant things is to the detriment of others. If you do not focus on what is important, it becomes increasingly less likely that you will ever find what is important. Sure, you can learn from your mistakes, but the time spent on making those mistakes is time wasted, and time is crucial in the business context.

But being back home means that I'm frequently distracted from my tasks - and what I really want to do - by those around me who have taken too much upon themselves, as if trying to solve every problem in the world. I'm still creating graphics, posting to this blog (which is therapeutic by the way, so it doesn't contribute toward wasted time), constructing websites and so on. But just not as often as I'd like to be.

Given that I interrupted Uni due to stress and a variety of other factors, it is a real shame that I'm not able to obtain the time to do what I want to do. Just before I left and while I was sorting out forms, there was a period of time wherein I was able to do all of this - and now it's all gone.

Really, it's not the end of the world though. I will certainly have time on weekends as long as I don't travel, but socially things are going to be an issue once more.

It's just one thing after another, really. I hope the next blog post will be a bit more positive!
